Celine Dion: These are the severe symptoms of her illness

Celine Dion, who has changed a lot over the years, spoke in her video of severe muscle cramps. But there is much more behind the autoimmune disease, as the Stiff Person Syndrome Foundation informs.

In addition to severe muscle cramps, patients also experience stiffness, skeletal deformities, tightness, and tightening of the muscles. The muscles are much more sensitive, which is why symptoms can be triggered by the smallest stimuli.

Walking is made much more difficult for the patient, which can lead to falls. The disease also has psychological consequences. Many patients experience panic attacks and other anxiety disorders as a result of stiff person syndrome.
